Description

Native crafts help support Nepalese & Tibetan refugees. Reiki Tummo energy blessing added for health & happiness. The Skull in Tibetan Buddhism serves to remind of the impermanence of the body. Rites & rituals are an essential part of Tibetan religion & reflect its practical side. Not restricted to temples, they are performed in a variety of places & circumstances, for a myriad of purposes. Daily ceremonies are conducted in temples, although they are not so elaborate as those that take place in Hindu temples in India & Nepal. Throughout the year, special rituals are performed to propitiate deities, to precipitate rain, to avert hailstorms, disease & death, to ensure good harvests, to exorcise demons & evil spirits, & to destroy the passions of the mind & ultimately, the ego. All these practices whether occult, magical, or shamanistic, require various implements which are as important as the images of the deities in whose service they are employed. Each such object is pregnant with symbolic meaning & is frequently imbued with magical power & potency. Many of these ritual implements also occur as hand-held attributes of various important Buddhist deities. Many of these weapons & implements have their origins in the wrathful arena of the battlefield & the funerary realm of the sky burial grounds. As primal images of destruction, slaughter, sacrifice, & necromancy, these weapons were wrested from the hands of evil & turned-as symbols-against the ultimate root of evil, the self-cherishing ego. In the hands of wrathful & semi-wrathful deities, protective deities, the siddhas & the dakinis, these implements became pure symbols, weapons of transformation, & an expression of the deities' wrathful compassion, which mercilessly destroys the manifold illusions of the inflated human ego. Amulets protect a person from trouble & bring good luck to its owner. Dakini Designed Amulet Protection from negative influences.
